Honda Safety Awards

No matter what type of driver you are, staying safe behind the wheel is a universally important aspect of driving. From a short drive across town to an extended cross-country road trip, you just never know what the unexpected has in store for you. The good news is that no other automaker is as committed to protecting its drivers as Honda is. In fact, Honda is proud to announce that a total of seven 2024 Honda vehicles have earned recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)* as either a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick +. Honda East Cincinnati has assembled this guide which can help you learn all about the safest Honda vehicles in the lineup.

IIHS Top Safety Pick Awards Explained
In order to earn the coveted 2024 Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must receive “Good” crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including the rigorous passenger-side small overlap test. In addition, a top-rated vehicle must offer front crash prevention which earns an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing as well as “Good” or “Acceptable” ratings for available headlights. Top Safety Pick + (TSP+) rated vehicles must achieve the same “Good” or “Acceptable” rating for their standard headlights.
A total of seven 2024 Honda models have been selected by the IIHS as Top Safety Picks. Honda Sensing® is now standard on every Honda automobile model, and there are nearly three million Honda vehicles on U.S. roads today equipped with this groundbreaking collection of safety and driver-assistive technologies.

Honda Safety Advantages

All Honda models also benefit from Honda’s exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, engineered to protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems, including pre-tensioning front seatbelts, and front, side, knee, and side-curtain airbags. Whether you spend most of your time driving by yourself or transporting your whole family, there’s a Honda model that’s engineered to keep you safe on the road.
Honda Sensing®
The Honda Sensing® suite of driver assistance features is a major part of what makes Honda vehicles so safe. Because the only thing safer than a vehicle designed to handle a crash well is one that doesn’t get into an accident in the first place. These tech features are state of the art, and are a part of why so many Honda models win Top Safety Pick awards. There are basic features that come standard on every 2025 Honda model, and a select few that are either optional or only available on select trims. The basic features are as follows:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
And the optional features:
- Blind Spot Information System
- Cross Traffic Monitor
- Auto High-Beam Headlights
